Death... and me
chapter-1950-30041322

It wasn't until several months later that Rean and Roan decided that it was about time to leave. In the communication system's core at the Dragon Race's territory, Rean talked to Havek through the communication system. Fortunately, Divine Senses were the main method to send information with it, so as long as Havek and Rean wanted to, no one could listen in on their conversation. 'That's about it, Havek. Roan and I are leaving the Dragon Race's territory, so I hope you can give help to Qia if needed.'

Havek, who pretended to be having just some simple conversation through his communication badge, didn't mind. 'When Qia goes out to work on the formations, I often end up talking to her anyway. She and I are from the same family anyway, so it goes without saying that I'll support her. As long as it doesn't disturb my own progress, that is.'

'That's good enough for me.' Rean smiled as he said that.

With that, he ended his conversation with Havek before passing the orders around. "Okay, I finished the last synchronization of the sub-core DPU. I'm heading back to the System Sect to continue working on the Bloodline Formation from Lanfia and her Blue Luan Race."

Rawor didn't mind. "No problem, we can deal with the rest here anyway. Oh, right! While you're there, try checking the signal between the sect and the antennas we talked about. Your sect has its own communication system, and the communication between it and ours is quite shaky." Rawor truly learned a lot in the past two decades and something.

Rean nodded in response. "Leave it to me."

Roan, who was inside the Dimensional Realm, opened his eyes after cultivating for a while. "Celis, Kentucky, Luan, it's time."

Not too long after, Rean, Calina, Zuo, and Qia appeared in the Dimensional Realm as well. "Alright. We're going ahead."

Qia couldn't help but ask in response. "Have you prepared the letter?"

Roan nodded and passed a jade slip to Qia. It was made in a way that Placake and company would be certain it was made by Rean and Roan. "When Placake and the demon beasts notice that we've disappeared, they will come for you and Calina. Just give it to him. The message inside will guarantee that they won't try anything on you. If anything, they should treat you very well while we're gone."

Qia didn't doubt that. "Alright, I'll do that. We're the last ones inside the Dimensional Realm. Well, the last ones apart from that sealed devil's soul, but that one doesn't count. Let us out first."

They quickly bade their farewells before Zuo, Calina, and Qia disappeared. Those three reappeared inside the System Sect and went about their own business as if nothing had happened at all.

Roan then looked at Rean after that. "We can start."

As soon as he said that, Rean and Roan's hair changed into black and white colors. They began their exchange of Light and Dark Elements while they focused on the Dragon Claw positioned near their dantians. "Sister Orb, be ready to send them back to the System Sect. It'll take some time until Placake notices that we removed them."

The initial idea was to use Dark Element to destroy the claw. However, over two decades later, Rean had enough time to analyze them and understand that he could use both Light and Dark Elements to remove them. Even Placake himself wouldn't notice it.

Two Rank Four Divine Stones then appeared near the twins' bodies before Rean started. First, Element and Divine Energy were used to redirect the Divine Energy of the stone into the twins' bodies. That Divine Energy then returned and reentered the Divine Stone, making the energy inside it compatible with only Rean and Roan. One must remember that absorbed Divine Energy could only be used by the one who took it. That's why higher-level cultivators couldn't use their Divine Energy to help others with their cultivations.

Celis and Kentucky didn't have that issue since those two were inside the Dimensional Realm the day the twins got the Dragon Claws. Sister Orb already checked and could guarantee they didn't have any tracker on them either. Then again, the same went for Luan.

The process continued for a few minutes until the Divine Stones' Divine Energy was completely transformed. Those two Divine Stones would act as Rean and Roan's dantians, which was what the Dragon Claw was attached to. That was something that Rean, and only Rean, could do. Even Roan wasn't confident in achieving that result.

Eventually, the Divine Energy connections between the twins' dantians and the claws were smoothly and slowly swapped by the Divine Energy inside the Divine Stones. For the claw, there was no difference as it had already gotten used to the twins' Divine Energy. Especially since the twins' Divine Energy was fused with Soul Power, so it was very unique. It was what they called Divine Soul Power.

Over three hours... that was how long it took for Rean to swap the Divine Energy connections between their dantians with the Divine Stones. Following that, it was time to use Dark Element to open holes into their bodies. It would allow the opening of the space around the claw cleanly. Naturally, it didn't hurt. Just like in previous events in the past, the twins knew how to use Light Element to cut off the sensation of pain.

After that, Rean surrounded the two claws with his Divine Energy and pulled them out. They were quickly attached to the Rank Four Divine Stones before Rean gave the order. "Alright, send them into the chamber in the System Sect."

[On it!] Sister Orb could control the Dimensional Realm better than even the twins, so it was safer to have her do the transfer without messing up anything.

In the System Sect, inside a small empty room, two claws suddenly appeared on the floor together with two Divine Stones. For Placake, nothing was out of place, though. He still thought he could feel the twins. The removal was complete.
